Zhao Yu smiled sweetly and said: "I hope so, but it doesn't matter if I can't find it. Anyway, I still have more than a year, so I can look for it slowly!"
"Don't worry, Junior Sister Zhao. If you can't find it, we can go to Phoenix Dance City and Fentian City to buy it. No matter how expensive it is, Senior Brother will get it for you!" Ruan Fang said proudly, while looking at Zhao Yu with burning eyes, without any hesitation. Concealing the admiration in his eyes.
Zhao Yu avoided Ruan Fang's gaze, smiled calmly and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Ruan!"
Shen Xiaobao said with an annoyed look on his face: "Last time in the Spiritual Beast Mountain Range not far from Five Thunder City, I met a body cultivator like a black charcoal monkey. He happened to have a piece of thunder stone in his hand. It's a pity that this guy I refuse to sell it, I’m so angry!”
Ruan Fang frowned when he heard this and said: "It's just a body cultivator, don't you know how to rob me?"
Shen Xiaobao said with a bitter face: "I thought so too at the time, but as soon as I hesitated, that guy had already escaped. If I had known that Senior Sister Zhao needed Thunder Firestone at that time, I would have snatched his mother's property away. Don’t even recognize him!”
Chu Jun glanced at Shen Xiaobao a little dumbfounded. He really wanted to beat him up so hard that his grandma wouldn't even recognize him.
When Zhao Yu heard that Ruan Fang and Shen Xiaobao were confidently discussing robbing other people's things, Dai Mei frowned vividly and scolded: "How can you just rob other people's things!"
Ruan Fang said disapprovingly: "It's useless for a body cultivator to ask for thunder stones. At worst, I'll pay him a sum of spiritual beans!"
Zhao Yu shook his head helplessly and said to Chu Jun: "Chu Jun, you won't refuse this time, right?"
Chu Jun said a little awkwardly: "Why did Senior Sister Zhao bring it up again? I refused last time because I really didn't have time!"
Zhao Yurou smiled and said, "Then you agreed this time?"
Chu Jun nodded, and Zhao Yu said happily: "Get ready, we will set off the day after tomorrow!"
An imperceptible cold light flashed in Ruan Fang's eyes, and he smiled: "I'll go back and prepare some things, so I'll take my leave first!"
Ruan Fang left the courtyard, and Lin Ping also made an excuse to leave. Zhao Yu glanced at Shen Xiaobao who was wandering around the courtyard, feeling secretly annoyed. After not seeing Chu Jun for two months, Zhao Yu always felt that he had a lot to say to him, but now he couldn't say a word. Chu Jun didn't know what to say, so he asked nonchalantly: "How are you doing during this period?"
"There is nothing good or bad about practicing in seclusion!" Zhao Yu gently brushed the hair on his forehead and glanced at Chu Jun with blurred eyes.
Chu Jun scratched his head and asked, "Is the Thunder Stone really important to you?"
Zhao Yu nodded and said: "To repair the broken sword of the third grade and upper level, you must get the thunder stone!"
Chu Jun thought for a moment and considered whether he should give the thunder stone to Zhao Yu directly, or find an opportunity for her to find it "accidentally" by herself.
"By the way, what did you mean when you said there is still more than a year?" Chu Jun asked.
At this time, Shen Xiaobao happened to come back from shopping and interrupted: "There is still more than a year until the three factions win the star competition. Hey, you kid has no chance to participate!"
Chu Jun asked curiously: "A competition among the three factions to win stars?"
A flash of regret flashed in Zhao Yu's eyes, and he explained: "The competition for winning stars among the three sects is held every ten years. Liefa Sect, Tenghuang Pavilion and Zhengtian Sect will all send their outstanding disciples to participate, but the cultivation level is required to reach the spirit condensation stage or above. !”
Chu Jun couldn't help but suddenly realized that with his current cultivation speed, it might be difficult to reach the spirit condensation stage next year, and asked: "Why is it called the Star Competition?"
Shen Xiaobao shook his head frequently and said: "Chu Jun, don't tell anyone that you are my junior brother, Shen Xiaobao. It's so embarrassing. You don't even know about the star competition!"
Zhao Yu laughed out loud, glared at Chu Jun and said, "You just jumped out of the cracks in the rocks. You don't know anything!"
Chu Jun chuckled and said to himself: "I jumped out of the cracks in time and space!"
Zhao Yu saw that Chu Jun looked really confused, so he patiently explained to him. It turns out that the purpose of this Star Competition is to compete for the Star Profound Fruit, so it is called the Star Competition. Xingxuan Fruit is the main medicine for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. There is only one Xuanxing tree growing in the Seven Stars Valley in the entire Ancient Plains Continent. This black star tree only bears fruit once every ten years, and the number will not exceed ten. You must know that the foundation-building pill is an essential pill for immortal cultivators to successfully build a foundation, so the three major sects often fight over the distribution of the Xingxuan Fruit, which is extremely unpleasant. Later, after negotiation, an agreement was reached that a star competition would be held every ten years, and the Star Profound Fruit would be distributed according to the results of the star competition.
The Star Competition stipulates that only disciples who have reached the Spirit Condensation Stage are allowed to participate, and those who have already participated are prohibited from participating again. Within ten years, the three sects of Liefa Sect, Tenghuang Pavilion and Zhengtianmen will cultivate a group of outstanding disciples who have reached the spirit condensation stage. As for who cultivates the most, it depends on the ability of each sect. What can each sect do differently? How many Star Mysterious Fruits are obtained depends entirely on the strength and luck of the disciples participating in the Star Competition.
On the surface, the competition between the three factions to win the star is to compete for the Star Profound Fruit, but secretly it is a competition for the strength of the new generation of the three factions. Whichever sect has trained more Spirit Condensing Stage disciples will have an advantage in the number of people participating in the Star Competition, and the number of Star Profound Fruits obtained in the end may be greater, so that more Foundation Establishment Pills can be refined and provided to the sect. A disciple who has the opportunity to build a foundation.
The number of foundation-building disciples represents the strength of a sect, and the possession of foundation-building pills is an important factor that affects the number of foundation-building disciples within the sect. Therefore, all three sects attach great importance to the star-winning competition held every ten years.
After listening to Zhao Yu's explanation, Chu Jun couldn't help but suddenly realized, and said: "Sister Zhao wants the thunder stone to repair the magic weapon and use it to participate in the star competition!"
Zhao Yu nodded and said, "That's right!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but asked curiously: "How many disciples of our sect have reached the spirit condensation stage and have not participated in the star competition?"
Shen Xiaobao said proudly: "Six!"
"Only six!" Chu Jun blurted out.
Shen Xiaobao couldn't help rolling his eyes and said: "What do you mean only six? Do you know how many people from our sect participated in the last session?"
Chu Jun shook his head to express his ignorance. Old Shen Xiaobao stretched out three fingers on the ground: "Exactly half of our class, those three have not succeeded in building the foundation so far!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue, and Shen Xiaobao said proudly: "So there are six of us in this class, which is considered powerful. Let's see how our Zhengtian Six Shows can show off their talents next year!"
Zhao Yu chuckled helplessly and said with a worried look on his face: "Junior Brother Shen, don't be too optimistic. The strength of Liefa Sect and Tenghuang Pavilion cannot be underestimated!"
Shen Xiaobao said unconvinced: "You have to fight to find out!"
After chatting for a while, Zhao Yu and Shen Xiaobao both said goodbye and left. Chu Jun looked at the courtyard gate thoughtfully. He really wanted to participate in the star competition, but there was only one year left. It seemed impossible to practice the Five Thunder Zhengtian Jue to the spirit condensation stage. The Linyue Jue was also Can't see the light.
There was a flash of light in front of his eyes, and the graceful figure of the woman with light and shadow emerged again, and he said calmly: "Why don't you give her your thunder stone!"
Chu Jun was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "You have to take care of this matter too!"
The woman of light and shadow snorted coldly: "I don't want to meddle in your business, but if you don't refine the first level of the Fierce Sun Art within this month, I will kill that Zhao Yu!"
Chu Jun's expression changed and he said firmly: "If you dare to touch even half of her hair, I will definitely make you regret it!"
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and the light and shadow woman said coldly: "You are threatening me!"
"If you think it's a threat, then let it be!" Chu Jun said calmly.
The woman of light and shadow stared at Chu Jun coldly for a while, then suddenly lost her momentum and said calmly: "Do you want to participate in the star competition?"
Chu Jun frowned and said, "So what?"
The woman of light and shadow said calmly: "I can help you practice the Five Thunder Secrets to the spirit-condensing stage within one year!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Is this true?"
The woman of light and shadow said proudly: "That's natural, but you have to practice the techniques I teach you honestly!"
Chu Jun pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "I promise you, but if after I cultivate the power of the New Yang, the two divine powers fail to achieve the so-called balance you mentioned, I refuse to continue practicing!"
"Okay!" The woman of light and shadow said cheerfully: "Start practicing now!"
Chu Jun hesitated and asked: "How do you plan to help me achieve Ningling within a year?"
"Don't worry, I always keep my word. Now the conditions are not met. When the conditions are met, I will tell you how to practice!" the light and shadow woman said calmly.
Chu Jun had no choice but to sit cross-legged and start practicing according to the first level of Lieyang Jue. The woman of light and shadow floated not far from Chu Jun, quietly observing and paying attention to the changes in Chu Jun's body.
Gradually, a faint halo appeared above Chu Jun's head, like a circle of bright yellow flames, called a first-grade corona. The first-grade corona appeared above Chu Jun's head, indicating that the first level of Lieyang Jue was about to be refined.
Chu Jun only felt that his temples were bright, and the warm sunshine essence continued to flow down along the meridians to the Tanzhong point, and then went down to the Yongquan point on the bottom of the left foot. The Yongquan point is getting hotter and hotter, and the new sun like a scimitar is becoming more and more obvious.
At this moment, Chu Jun suddenly felt that the crescent moon on the sole of his right foot was spinning rapidly, and his entire right leg suddenly became cold. The sunlight essence flowing down immediately lost control and jumped around in his body, as if it was burning red. The dead silver needle was inserted into the meridians. The most painful thing was the heart-wrenching pain in his Dantian. Two powers with different attributes were strangled to death. The layer of thunder spirit energy cultivated from the Five Thunder Zhengtian Jue was instantly washed away.
"Ho!" Chu Jun roared like a beast from his throat, curling up into a ball in extreme pain, with veins on his neck standing out and beads of sweat oozing out. The woman of light and shadow quietly felt the movement of the aura in Chu Jun's body. After a while, she lightly took out a palm. A soft moonlight hit Chu Jun's Dantian, and the two forces pinching each other instantly seemed to be connected to Mingjin. After receiving the order to withdraw their troops, they all returned to their respective nests.
Chu Jun suddenly felt that the pain was greatly reduced. However, the thunder spirit energy that had finally accumulated in his Dantian was gone. The hard training in the past two months was gone. Chu Jun felt like crying without tears.
